Best value bottom paint
This has got to be one if the best values for bottom paint. Its the 5th year I’ve used it and it has performed exceptionally well every year. Have had multiple comments from different boatyards at haul out saying how they wished everyone’s boat was this easy to clean! Definitely a clear winner!!

Good stuff
For the price this paint works great! However I want to point out that I only have my boat in the water four to five months, in that time I get very few barnacles.

Different product was sent.
We’ll see how it performs. Item sent is entirely different than product and picture and description on the website. Similar product but not good business.

Great paint
The last three summers we have used on the bottom off our sail boat. Although it lightens up a few shade, the bottom of the boat looks great when we pull out at the end of season . Great paint
